Gaaahhhhh!!!!! The longest Wednesday Ever!!!!!

I am sitting at the PIT airport and it's the 3rd time I've been here in 24 hrs.

Quick recap: I flew in from Boston at 6pm yesterday (Tuesday), met up with Kev and then went home. Kev did some laundry, we ate some nachos and talked about what we wanted our new year to look like, pondered over the meaning of life, played on the computer, and packed. Notice, I did not mention sleeping.

So 4:40am rolls around and I need to take Kevin to the airport so he can leave for his flight to Australia for the month. This is the 2nd time in 24 hours.

I was very tired because it had been a very long day (because I hadn't slept yet, that means it was the same day still) and now it was snowing and I had to drive home in it. Are you kidding me?!?! I had never driven in snow before and my license had just expired, 2 days ago. Illegally driving in snow for the first time, while sleep deprived. What a way to start off the New Years, huh?

Well, as much as a huff as I made about it, I made it home fine. I rotated my laundry, cleaned up my room, unpacked and repacked my suitcase and then took a nap; I think I got 3 hours of sleep.

And then I had to get on a bust at 2pm to head back to the airport. OMG, NO MORE AIRPORTS!!! I am so done traveling. Oh and guess what? Someone forgot which bus she needed to take to get to the 28X.... was it the EBO, the EBA, or the EBX? Was there an EBX? I got on the bus that was supposed to take me down town and help me connect to the 28x. I of course picked the wrong bus, but I did manage to make my transfer and get to the airport. I also got to enjoy my first standingonastreetcorner-lettingthewindblowthroughme moment while waiting for my bus transfer. Less than pleasant let's say.

So I thought I was in the clear. It had been a rough 24 hours (and 3 airport visits), but I was there. What else could go wrong?

I realize I booked myself on an Alaska Airlines Partner and not an NWA partner (trying to move my miles over) meaning I wasn't going to get the miles in the correct mileage account and I didn't know if there would be personalized TVs on this flight. Normally I don't care about that because I ALWAYS sleep on flights, but for an 11 hour flight across 2 continents, it matters. Ok, fine, so I am on the wrong partner, whatever. But I still had to get through security.
Well, I was a retard and gave the "check-in" guy my newly expired license, so he had to write me up and then I was sent through the special blowing-air machine (which was kind of fun but mostly amusing). Sigh.....what an amateur I was!!

So I am here waiting at the airport and I have sooooooo much time on hands! My computer has been freezing on me and my flight has just been delayed. Super. Super duper.

Well, here-here to the start of a New Year! The only great thing about the beginning of this year being such a disaster is that it can only get better.

I am off to Buenos Aires again to teach and vacation. Kevin is off to do the same thing in Australia. Perhaps we'll see you guys with some nice tans!!
